A historic US ocean liner, once the fastest passenger ship in the world, was deliberately sunk in the Gulf of Mexico on Wednesday to create what is expected to become the world's largest artificial reef.
The SS United States is set to be sunk off Florida to create an artificial reef, according to reports from November 10 and 11. The Guardian said the plan would end a long-running dispute over the ocean liner’s fate, while The Maritime Executive reported that the ship had left Mobile, Alabama, for the reef site. WQCS reported the sinking plan, but the reports do not confirm that the ship has already been sunk.
